First, “poles” can’t vote in our elections. Only Americans can vote. Poles can vote in Poland.

Second, if you think that Sharron Angle doesn’t think that God is on her side, then I guess no one will convince you otherwise. I don’t know what she thinks, which is why I tried to call her and find out. Her campaign has ignored at least 10 messages from me on various topics, so we are left to guess. I promise I’ll keep trying to get answers. And I will ask her the question you propose here.

Third, however, you must acknowledge that a.) if God really has been with Angle from the beginning of her campaign, as she said, and b.) if God’s help did assist her in winning the primary (check out the whole video) then it logically follows that he does want her in the race against Reid, the goal of which is to defeat Reid. (That is, unless God is trying to send a message to Reid with a strong evangelical challenger who will come close but ultimately lose. Hey, didn’t that happen in 1998?)

My point is, well, let’s just quote St. Paul on this one shall we? “O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and his ways past finding out!” Which is to say, it’s always dicey to declare one knows the purpose of God.

Let’s suppose that if after all the build up and the poles showing she was going to win, that Sharron had lost and lost crushingly. And then let’s suppose a very similar question was put to her:

“After such a promising campaign, when everything appeared to be going your way, were you prepared for such a resounding loss? Was it too much for you?”

Do you think she would have answered differently? Or can you hear her saying:

“Not really. I believe that God has been in this [her campaign] from the beginning and because of that, when he has a plan and a purpose for your life, and you fit into that, what he calls you to he’s always equipped you for,” Angle said.

Steve, if you want to believe her answer means Sharron actually thinks God in on her side in this campaign and would pull the lever for her and not Reid (were he to manifest himself on earth again), then I guess no one will convince you otherwise.

But to me, and I think a lot of other people, what it appears she was saying was that she believes God has a purpose for her and that He would not ask her to take on something she can’t handle.

You may also notice she did not say WHAT that purpose was. I’m guessing if you asked her what she thought that purpose was she might hazard a guess. But I doubt she would purport to actually know what God’s purpose was.
